Opening MDIChild in Maximised State
Visual studio 2005 designer has no way of ensuring that a MDIChild opens in maximised state within its parent all the time. Changing the WindowState property in designer to Maximized does not work every time.
Ensuring that the MDIChild opens in a maximized state requires programatic adjustments.
To make a MDIDhild open in Maximized state in all situations, add the following lines of code to your form_load() event handler:
C# code
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
VB.NET code
me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
technorati tags C# .NET, MDIChild
Happy Coding !
